9. In this verse we learn the form and method of David’s prayer. It was an
argument with God, an urging of reasons, a pleading of his cause. Head and
heart, judgment and affections, memory and intellect were all at work to spread
the case aright before the Lord of love. What profit is there in my blood,when I go down to the pit? Wilt thou not lose a songster from thy choir,
and one who loves to magnify thee? Shall the dust praise thee? shall itdeclare thy truth? Will there not be one witness the less to thy
faithfulness and veracity? Spare, then, thy poor unworthy one for thine own
name’s sake!
